1. Amplifier "The Octopus"

2. Anathema "We're Here Because We're Here"

It's got a really cool '70's vibe in parts, not as obviously Floyd/Sab as Astra, but equally as wonderful, to these ears anyway.

[ColdFireYYZ]

My favorites so far are:

 

Spock's Beard - X

Black Keys - Brothers

Black Country Communion - Black Country Communion

Anberlin - Dark Is the Way, Light Is a Place

Weezer - Hurley

Meat Loaf - Hang Cool Teddy Bear

 

Robert Plant's "Band of Joy" and Arcade Fire's "The Suburbs" both had a few very good songs, but they were both either too long or too boring at parts.

 

There's a few more albums from 2010 that I'll get after Christmas, like the new Scorpions album, Coheed and Cambria's latest and maybe the new Ringo album.

 

2009 had much better albums.

[ReRushed]

I like best of lists because I get to check out a ton of stuff I didn't have the time or energy to seek out through out the year. I always play catch up!

Probably Eparistera Daimones by Triptykonr, The Guessing Game by Cathedral or Fuzz Universe by Paul Gilbert Electric Wizards new album will hopefully be even better, though

Also:

Fukpig - Belief is the Death of Intelligence

Enslaved - Axioma Ethica Odini

Negura Bunget - Virstele Pamintului

Kvelertak - Kvelertak

Shining - Blackjazz

Satch's new album is a return to form, too.

 

It's been a pretty good year

[Hatchetaxe&saw]

A late entry, Steeple by Wolf People...if you like Pentangle, Spirit, Traffic etc.....this could be for you.

I don't think there was one decent album released in 2010.

Did you actually listen to any album released in 2010?

 

Now, go on, there's a jazz-fusion record that you haven't bought yet that needs some attention.

Truth.

 

I admit that when I was younger I was musically ignorant and close-minded...I only listened to 'classic rock' bands from the 60s & 70s...but after a while I realized how dumb it was and I soon branched out to a lot of other styles...I now have a broader and more varied taste in multiple styles/genres of music.

 

And it's helped me become a more open-minded person musically.

 

Don't get stuck in the past with music...of course there's loads of great music from the 60s, 70s, & 80s, etc....But the 2000s & 2010 have tons of new artists and great original music that is just out there waiting to be discovered...it's so much easier nowadays due to the constantly-emerging technology.

I'd encourage people who may be unwilling to do it....take advantage of the technology available to you and listen to as much music and as many styles as you can.

Exactly.

 

And I can't really accept "oh, it's too much work" as a valid excuse. You have the Internet at your hands, use it. Browse websites, look around on Wikipedia, use YouTube - or hell, even find someone you know who can lend you some music - just get out there and discover.
